 | | Description: | Reflection by Warfare D.C., released 1 September 2023, includes the following tracks: "Dealing With The Agony", "Trapped In A Circle", "Living Hell", "Inner War" and more.
This version of Reflection comes as a 1xCD. - WARFARE D.C. took shape during the late-'80s, formed from the remnants of little-known Daly City, CA metal unit Armament when drummer Will Carroll and guitarist Ted Aguilar joined forces with Ted's older brother, Rob, on bass. With the intention of moving in a more intense and thrash-centric direction, the trio quickly worked toward tracking a raw, two-song demo at the Machine Shop in San Francisco.Having honed their crunchy, energetic brand of crossover-esque thrash with Rob and Ted splitting vocal duties, WARFARE D.C. hit Audio Voyage Studios later in 1990 for the four-song Lethal Injection demo. Produced by Sean Killian from VIO-LENCE with engineer Doug Mann - and utilizing some of VIO-LENCE's gear in the process - the new material was recorded and mixed in just two days. A far stronger example of the group's crisp, hard-hitting attack, Lethal Injection was more than enough to begin creating a local buzz throughout the Bay Area.At that time, WARFARE D.C. was joined by second guitarist Chris Wise, formerly of EPITAPH. Another four-song demo, Victims, was then recorded at Dreamland Productions in 1991, produced by Nick Felczer and Mike Wells (both from WREKKING MACHINE). Boasting more professional artwork as well as a concept behind the lyrical direction, Victims found the band's sound taking on a darker tone - in part inspired by groundbreaking works from acts like SEPULTURA and SUFFOCATION - with more technical riffing and a more sinister and aggressive vocal approach. Having been involved with such a legendary era of the Bay Area thrash scene, WARFARE D.C. was fortunate enough to have performed with the likes of VIO-LENCE, FORBIDDEN, THE ORGANIZATION, PRONG, DEATH, and many more. Despite nibbles from labels, however, the band never secured the opportunity to record an album. Frustrations and turmoil within the lineup brought things to a close by early-1993, though Ted and Will continued into the mid-'90s with BROOD (and became bandmates again years later alongside their old friends in Death Angel).30-plus years later, Divebomb Records is eager to present Reflection: a CD compiling WARFARE D.C.'s Lethal Injection and Victims demos, completely remixed and remastered, with the original '90s mixes as bonus tracks. This long overdue collection will be packaged with a 20-page booklet including photos, flyers, lyrics, and an extensive retrospective interview with the entire band. For the fans, by the fans!Tracks 1- 4 Victims - Demo (2023 Mix)

limited to 500 copies"Reflection" is a CD release by Warfare D.c. that presents a dense, guitar-driven blend of classic thrash and heavy metal with a modern, more focused production. Across the album, tight riffs, mid- to fast-tempo grooves and aggressive yet melodic leads dominate, while the rhythm section pushes the songs forward with punch and precision. Lyrically, "Reflection" revolves around themes of inner struggle, social tension and personal accountability, giving the material a darker and more thoughtful edge. The tracks are arranged to create a coherent flow from beginning to end, alternating between straight, hard-hitting songs and more atmospheric or mid-tempo passages that offer breathing space without losing intensity. The overall sound is aimed at fans of traditional metal who appreciate raw energy, memorable hooks and an unpolished, honest attitude.
The artist Warfare D.c. positions itself clearly in the underground metal scene and focuses on a direct, riff-centric approach rather than trends or elaborate studio gimmicks. Their music is built on a foundation of old-school metal influences, sharpened by a contemporary, slightly harsher vocal style. Over time, Warfare D.c. have earned a reputation among genre connoisseurs for powerful live performances and for staying faithful to their metallic roots, gradually building a dedicated niche following. "Reflection" documents this evolution by capturing their characteristic sound in a compact, album-oriented format that showcases both their songwriting and their instrumental interplay.
The CD format underlines the album character of "Reflection": physical liner notes, artwork and tracklist invite repeated, concentrated listening. The production emphasizes clarity in the guitars and a drum sound that is defined but not sterile, so the record retains a certain live feel. For collectors and metal fans who value tangible releases, this CD is both an entry point into Warfare D.c.'s world and a solid addition to a serious heavy-metal shelf.
